Hello, guys!. I'm a movie director and I'm about to start my new project. It's a new thriller movie. The problem is, I'm also the editor of the movie. I mainly use Adobe After Effects for professional movie editing, but I need a new rig in order to support it because my old one is not enough. Also, I'm fairly good at technology so I came up with my own build, right here: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/P2nQt6 . Is that a good build considering that I'm working with a dual-monitor system for editing and the movie is shot in 4.7k, and kinda looks like this maybe even better: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-VE4UHb7FU . If not, what would you guys recommend? And if there's additional info you think I need to know, please share it with me!. Thank you very much in advance! :)

You might want to consider a 5820k Haswell-E CPU. The additional cores over a standard i7 will really make in shine in production software like video editing. Especially if you go and overclock the CPU.
example build http://pcpartpicker.com/p/zRkT8d

That said the PSU size you've selected in your build is way to big unless you are planning on slapping a couple more GPUs in there down the road. Your build only sucks down a bit less than 400w so a 650w PSU would be a better purchase.

side note if you can stand to wait (though it sounds like you can't) the Broadwell-E series is coming out in the next 6 or less months and bring some nice improvements along with even more cores.
